Heart Center

Here at the #1-ranked children's hospital by U.S. News & World Report, Boston Children's Heart Center is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes from every patient— as well as providing long-term support for every family.

Programs and services

We maintain one of the world’s largest teams of highly trained pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, with extensive sub-specialty expertise across dozens of programs and services, including ones exclusively offered provided through Boston Children’s Heart Center.

Volumes and outcomes

Despite treating the most serious congenital heart conditions, the Boston Children's Hospital Heart Center has some of the best success rates in the world, with surgical survival rates that approach 99 percent.

The care we provide doesn't begin when patients are admitted to the hospital, or end when they go home-and it isn't restricted by a patient's age. We serve as a resource for all patients with congenital heart defects.

We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the fourth year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told.
